    I only had the store do a download for me because they thought I might lose stuff that I had saved. They told me it would take a lifetime for me to fill this one up.

    It does what it's supposed to do, just didn't come with legible instructions in English about how to install or eject it. That was a hassle, but after a visit to TotalTech at Best Buy, it's now clear.

    I honestly had no idea it was this small in size, but do not let that fool you. This brand has been around forever, and I have personally been a fan favorite since day one. Great quality and quick speeds.

    We were looking for an external drive to backup our Sony PlayStation 3 console. Since the maximum capacity of the system is 1TB, this was the perfect alternative for what we needed to do - and the price was right.

    I have a large number of external drives which I use for data backups and data transfers. Most of these are Western Digitals in sizes from 1 to 3 Gb. These drives have been highly dependable and relatively fast. I trust them with important data and I recommend them to my clients.
